Runner Up: From the Bureau cloth to the Banquet table Trunk ShowThursday, June 13 2:00 – 4:00 pmTable top quilts are fast and fun to make and beautiful to coordinate with your home décor or seasonal decorating. My adventure in making a table runner for every month of the year led me to appreciate this versatile and amazing quilt form. See a quilt-filled trunk show of table runners celebrating the seasons, flowers of the month, holidays, and crazy favorites. From samples to stunners you will be inspired by this collection dedicated to the table.

EQ8 – Designing Quilts on the Computer Trunk ShowFriday, June 14, 8:00 – 11:00 am“Ain’t Technology Grand?” This program looks at the incredibly powerful quilt designing software, EQ8 by the Electric Quilt Co. A Power Point lecture explores the many things this software program can do, and the ways it can assist quilters (with little or no computer experience) to design quilts, quilt blocks, explore fabric and setting ideas, and create instructions for making original quilts. A virtual trunk show is included in the presentation along with a number of actual quilts designed by Reeze with EQ8.
